It's not sales, marketing, or operations - it's 'corporate chiropracting'

Seth Godin just summed up what I've been trying to put my finger on (and explain to others) exactly what it is that I do, love, and am damn good at.  Yes, that's bragging. Why toot my own horn today... simply b/c many recognize it, many have fought it (trying to label or push me into 'sales' roles), but most importantly many have benefited from my advice, suggestions, and action plans.  Now, finally thanks to Seth - I can merely send a link and build my own brand, and explanation of this 'art & science' technique that expanintially helps client's profit sore!!

Here's an excerpt:

Hire an architect

Architects don't manufacture nails, assemble windows or chop down trees. Instead, they take existing components and assemble them in interesting and important ways.

It used to be that if you wanted to build an organization, you had to be prepared to do a lot of manufacturing and assembly--of something. My first internet company had 60 or 70 people at its peak... and today, you could run the same organization with six people. The rest? They were busy building an infrastructure that now exists. Restaurants used to be built by chefs. Now, more than ever, they're built by impresarios who know how to tie together real estate, promotion, service and chefs into a package that consumers want to buy. The difficult part isn't installing the stove, the difficult (and scarce) part is telling a story.

I'm talking about intentionally building a structure and a strategy and a position, not focusing your energy on the mechanics, because mechanics alone are insufficient. Just as you can't build a... (continue...)

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

- SETH GODIN, as always your ability to 'nail' and capture a business trend, concept, or angle brilliantly in just a few select words.  You've inspired me to keep going and build my business as a 'general marketing contractor' for clients.

Mortgages - Save $71,000 paying the same amount each month!

A great simple way to get ahead in this world if you can. Most people know this already, but it might be worth another look if you are not doing it yet and have steady income.

Instead of paying off your mortgage once per month, set up a system to pay it twice per month. I’m not telling you to double your payments. I’m saying that paying every two weeks WILL mean several years less of payments. Here’s how it works continued: iWillmakeyourich.com

Vook - the new video/book

Seth Godin - Jumps the Gun, and I love it!! Direct excerpt from his email to members of his blog:

There's going to be a lot of hoopla this week, some of it on this very blog (three posts already today!).

I want to be the very first author to announce a new project for Apple's tablet.

Apple is announcing the device tomorrow (I wish they had waited a week), but I thought I'd let you know early that I've licensed Vook the rights to Unleashing the Ideavirus so they can convert it into a multimedia app. It should be finished before the tablet ships, so we intend to be ready when they are.

Steve Jobs will probably never speak to me again for announcing before his launch. That's okay, he never speaks to me anyway.

It was the pain staking work of 300 artists and tech-wielding specialists, who, in the process of tweaking every frame and every miniscule detail of every image, undertook to create an read rest of story...
